Deerhound to hearhound?

I have had a few e-mails and comments, enquiring after the music used throughout our deerhound videos on the blog, so I thought I’d point some of the deerhound owners out there in the direction of some of the more fun sources that every deerhound should have in there collection.

The names may be vaguely familiar - but this is the real deal for all your Scottish highland hootenannies.

In no particular order of preference we have Ceilidh Minogue for a guid auld knees up, more than welcome at any Ceilidh - 12 tracks of blistering barn stormers. Click the artist name for a link.

Next in the list is some skirling to get you whirling with The Red Hot Chilli Pipers, 10 tracksof chanter, banter for a shoogle of the kilt.

And last but not least in this collection, is The Sensational Jimi Shandrix Experience - featuring some great wheezing, squeezing, accordian playing by Sandy Brechin - who resides not to far from the Rogue and infact his father will be well familiar with deerhounds through his Veterinary trade and indeed has assisted with former family members. Check out the great Electric Landlady collection - 10 sporran shakin knees ups for a grand nicht oot - it was the Shandrix’ Virginia Reel that we featured in the Alva video.

Scoorie doon tae the shops and purchase these essential tunes now, if you don’t already have them in your collection . . . a must! Enjoy.
